Thomas Beddoes to the Editors of The Medical and Physical Journal, 17 June 1803
To the Editors of the Medical and Physical Journal GENTLEMEN,PARTICULAR circumstances having induced me to make a very extensive enquiry concerning the progress and nature of the Influenza, I have before me a great mass of opinions and facts, with permission to make them public. Your Journal would, I think, do infinitely more justice to my correspondents than a separate publication, and if you can spare them and me room, I will place the returns to my queries in order, and add a commentary. The whole will make three communications sufficiently long, of which the first may appear in your next number
I am &c.
THOMAS BEDDOES
